Lidl has launched a genius range of chilled red wines for the summer

The budget supermarket brings you chill-able red wine to get you through the heatwave.

After a brief respite from the scorching summer weather, this week will see the return of 30-degree temperatures and sweat-drenched clothes/bedsheets/pretty much everything you come into contact with.

However it does also mean the reappearance of chilled evening tipples like rosé wine, G&Ts and Aperol spritz.

Cabernet, it was nice to have you back for a week but it’s again time to say au revoir until the autumn.

Or is it?

One supermarket is determined not to let red wine die out during the summer months.

Bargain store Lidl has launched a range of red wines, including one that – shock horror – is best served from the fridge.

That’s right, what you may have previously thought of as the ultimate wine faux pas is actually being encouraged.

The light and easy-drinking Vin Art Villányi Portugieser comes from a grape that is grown in Hungary and is blended with a mix of fruits.

Lidl’s wine experts suggest that you drink the £6.99 2015 vintage lightly chilled to bring out its intense oaky taste. Or pair the 12% plonk with cold meats or stuffed mushrooms for complementing flavours.
